We left...........so they will be back to where they were.........we haven't left Japan or Germany since WWII. Yes the US is all evil............maybe not. I guess it depends where you look.

Good point. You cant change a thousand year old culture in a few years.
Lets go to crimea and shoot all those locals who just voted to join russia. That will teach them about democracy....
The world is getting smaller. If you want to see people change let them see the things they do not have. This is what got Al-Queda wound up to start with. They know when the people of the backwards nations see all the things people in other places have that they don't they are going to want it also.
You aren't going to change them by dropping bombs on their heads. China is having a difficult time paying people peanuts because those doing the work now know people in places the things they are making are going to are being paid far better than they are.
They want to be able to afford these things also. No, war is not going to change diddly, it has to be from within.
Again, i coulnt agree more. Even the american democracy was an effect of a grass-roots movement and wasnt just given to americans to enjoy. It has to be from within.

We haven't left Afghanistan. We haven't even left Iraq. The U.S. isn't evil, well at least those who realize that you can't change people by killing their friends and families.
You just did, you compared us occupation of afghanistan and iraq to our military presence in germany and japan.
